Student Carol Davidson designs a 'swoosh' logo, somewhat later the logo was bought by a sports/shoe company for $35.

Yeah, but I heard she was later compensated for her work. Plus, it's not like that 'company' was that big at the start anyways.

nah apparently when she made it they put her on a yearly payment of like 1 million dollars or something huge like that - small beginnings - excellent endings.

If she could get a royalty for every swoosh logo in use today she would have quite a lot of money.
